Genetic dissection of femoral and tibial microarchitecture
2019-01-04
Abstract excerpt
Our understanding of the genetic control of bone has relied almost exclusively on estimates of bone mineral density. In contrast, here we have used high-resolution x-ray tomography (8 μm isotropic voxels) to measure femoral and tibial components across a set of ~600 mice belonging to 60 diverse BXD strains of mice. We computed heritabilities of 25 cortical and trabecular compartments. Males and females have well m...
